Melmac might be interested in the fact that an Irish scientist living in Portland survived the Singapore Airlines crash the other day. She gave an amazing interview on RTE's News at One yesterday recounting her lucky escape. She's a coral reef expert and was returning to the USA from a conference in Bali. She sounded amazingly together in spite of having crawled from the burning wreckage soaked in parafin with fireball behind her. The film 'Fearless' about two plane crash survivors came to mind listening to her. It will undoubtedly be on playback on Saturday and if it turns up on RTE's realaudio site have a listen.
